Somebody hold me. Emilia is NINE whole years old and I am not ok. I swear just a few months ago I was waiting to find out if it was Sam or Scarlett (LOL) living in my belly. Spoiler alert, it was neither. But seriously can you imagine Emilia Eliza Jane as anyone other than […]

not planning to fail or something like that
How does that old quote go? If you fail to plan you plan to fail? Not me! Not this week. I have made a plan and I am definitely not planning to fail. Today I took 15 minutes while waiting for Owen’s dance class to start and planned my entire workouts for the whole week. […]
Tis the season to be spooky
I don’t know about you but once the kids are back in school it’s full steam ahead. I’m ready to decorate for Halloween, craving turkey dinners and getting ideas for Christmas gifts jotted down. I usually wait to decorate for Halloween for one very practical reason only….hurricane season. Every year when I’ve bone all out […]
The Update You Haven’t Been Waiting For
Drumroll please…here is an update. You guys my kids are back in school. It’s been less than two full weeks and I already miss having them home.

Wishlist Wednesday: What I Wish I Was Ordering
It’s been a minute since I’ve done one of these but lawdamercy this no shoe buying thing has been tough. Mostly because Nike keeps coming out with new Blazers, Vans came out with a freaking horoscope line and Target’s studded slides are fire. I’m taking it as well as I can though, and creating wishlists […]
What Dreams Are Made Of
Last week, after a successful thrifting adventure, I decided to start something. Not a fight, not a new concept but something that is fulfilling a dream of mine. I’ve always wanted to be successful and success has so many definitions. I know by some definitions I’m there. And yet by mine I’m falling woefully short. […]
Adventures of a Goal-Digger
Goals are funny. They can be motivating one minute and then completely discouraging in the next breath. Last month I posted my goals publicly for all to see on my Instagram and it’s a new month so it’s time to reflect. I achieved some of these goals but reflecting on the month and the setbacks, […]
